What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 420 & BENKYO RADIO 420.
As you can see from the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer below, there are 3 separate campaigns in Cyberpunk 2077. I look forward to finishing the Nomad campaign, and afterward I will attempt the other two. The 1.31 patch makes the game work well on Steam (PC), and the 1.5 patch is coming in First-Quarter of 2022. If you are tired of the pandemic and need to get lost in another world for a few hours per week, Cyberpunk 2077 is the place to be. I want every song from every radio stations to be available on streaming portals (Spotify and Apple Music), so please, CD Projekt Red, make that happen. Thanks in advance.
It’s episode 420! Should weed be legal? Well, right now, there are millions of Black and Brown Americans in jail for weed, while Elon Musk made more than 300 billion dollars of profit during a pandemic in which millions of people suffered. So what do you think? As always, please remember not to smoke and drive under the influence. I thank you for listening.
